When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g.
FOR YOUR SAFETY Please read the precautions below before using your cooker. ALWAYS . . . ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker. ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use. ALWAYS stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat to disperse. ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the oven. ALWAYS take care when removing items from the grill when the oven is on, as the contents may be hot.
FOR YOUR SAFETY NEVER . . . NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces will get hot during and after use. allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker. store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker. heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst.
HOTPLATE The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners. The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents along one side of each pan support are inner-most. Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open.
HOTPLATE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING 1. 2. 3. 4. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly. 5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILL PAN HANDLE The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage.The handle can be fixed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket. Tilt the handle over the recess (a). Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan (b). Locate the handle over hte bracket (c).
GRILL Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be necessary after sealing the food to reduce the heat as required. For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
OVEN The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the temperatures inside the oven. Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.
OVEN COLD START COOKING Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes. ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 22 lbs (10 kgs) of suitable shape. It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven.
OVEN COOKING CHART The following times and setting are for guidance only. You may wish to alter the setting to give a result more to your satisfaction.

THE ‘E’ SETTING The ‘E’ setting on the oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. USING THE ‘E’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING 1. All dishes cooked by the ‘E’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases. 2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk.
MINUTE MINDER To operate the minute minder, rotate the minute minder control knob fully clockwise and then anti-clockwise to the required setting (0-120 min). This will ensure that the duration of audible warning is as long as possible. The minute minder will then count down to ‘0’ at which time it will emit an audible warning for a short period. The minute minder may continue to click for a short while after the warning has sounded.
CARE AND CLEANING Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind. To move the cooker forward, open the grill door and with both hands positioned under the roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker backwards.
